My God, I really don't believe this posts: "I like better"..."l prefere"...what are you talking about?? This is simple outstanding singing, just listen to it and try to learn something!
Davide Romano Exactly!!! I don’t see the reason behind comparing singers all the time.. each one is unique and everyone has their favorite singers, end of story
I like both, Natalie and Edita, heard them both life and were both outstanding. Have even heard Edita doing this aria (Ophelia) in a concert 10 years ago and she was superb! As for pronunciation (I speak fluently frech) I'd agree Natalie is better, but have to realise only natural french people can sing french operas with really good pronunciation, all the rest just cannot, at least the "r" is allways the problems and the "nose-voices". Just go and listen to famous Carmen interprets :))
I don´t give a damn about been french... Im talking about quality of voice and in that... for me dessay´s voice doesn´t even get close. Besides, so many famous singers sing so bad french and you still love them.
Its true...Natalie's technique and pitch is far above every body's which makes jealous people say disparaging remarks about her. She is NEVER off pitch and never misses one trill, or musical nuance. I love Gruby..she has her own special charisma and I think a phenomenal voice. A nice full sound and presence. Her style is more loose than Dessay's. Gruby is not as classy a musician as Natalie but she is just as interesting!
Personne ne comprend ce que chante cette dame. La voix est belle, mais tellement artificiellement enjouée; la ligne de chant artificiellement sophistiquée et l'émotion artificiellement engorgée. La technique au service de l'artifice...
FANTASTIC!!!
what year is this? 1990? It doesn't compare to her Tokyo performance, but her singing is good.
Excellent as usual!!
But what was this squak at top F close to the end?
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I'm not really a Gruberova fan, but that was great.

exactly!! Gruberova is too good and many are jealous about her being better than their idols, mostly Sutherland, Cabelle, Sills, etc.,

What did you expect?... this is a recital. What she did was enough.
Ouch!
Yes, Dessay IS Ophelia

I don´t care about Dessay... don´t like her voice and find her dramatic acting is too over acting. Thanks... but no... prefer Edita.
Dessay said to me in person: Gruberova is my idol. Period.
